Just back to our hotel after the match, and thought it was an excellent game. Two teams playing pretty well and could have gone either way at the end. Ref didn’t have his best day but felt his decisions evened out. Main grumble would be Quins’ inconsistent lineout, but just happy to get a first ever knockout win!
Few tweaks I think, firstly Riley to start. Second, I think Lewies should replace Hammond at 5, with Hammond benched. Unlikely CCS will be fit, but I think Trenholm could be a good bolter to start, or James if he’s fit.
Can we pleas agree that Riley must start. I mean it's not even maybe.
Hammond is the better player, but he’s always going to lose out to Stephan in a straight shoot out probably just by his position as club captain. I’d drop Steohan altogether but can’t see it happening
are you sure? I think if it's a shoot-out at lock then Hammond gets the nod. He's good for 15 tackles a game, the guy I'd a machine. At the moment it looks to me like Stephan is filling gaps.
Walker showed why a few on here don't rate him - lineout throws going astray just when we are on top 😕 I was calling for Riley to come on much earlier
he was unmitigatingly dreadful.
Yes. It doesn't count as losing control unless there is separation with no hand on the ball before it hits the ground
You can't disagree with this. It's not an opinion. It's fact.
For what it's worth I think there was probably separation, and no doubt cadan should neve have given the officials an option, but from the replays they saw it should have stood.
All that counts at the end of the day is a first knockout win in the top tier competition. It was a distinctly Quinsy performance last night. Moments of excellence outnumbering the moments of cluelessness this week. Overall I think their performance was deserved.
What was pleasing after last week was the way we executed so many solid defensive sets, some of which when down to 14 and the pressure was on. Smith was excellent, Andre too and Wev everywhere as usual. Riley has to start ahead of Wacker for me from now on. The dodgy darts contributed to leaving a few points out there.
If we’re going to get thumped in the quarters I’d far rather it be by Bordeaux so good luck to them this afternoon.
Glad I wasn’t subjected to Ryan Wilson on the TV. Wasn’t he the ‘card’ that started on George Ford in the tunnel in a Calcutta Cup game a few years back?
Wilson's Glasgow bias was obviously there to counteract the general Quins love in you normally feel when you have Monye with his Quins pom poms on the touchline. It must be hard when you're not used to it.

Never felt the need to before now. Hopefully not feel the urge to come back again, the self entitlement is a bit nauseous.
Nice of Ryan himself to pop by.
Felt the need to register but not to comment. Of course...
Walker and green were poor. Lynagh sifting defence too. Lewies adds nothing really.
Smith excellent.
Ref was interesting. Both teams could have felt hard done by at times. We bombed 3 try scoring chances before our first try. And looked knackered from about 50-70.
No way Hammond should lose out to Lewies. Riley in for walker is a no brainer.
Still, we won, which is all that matters. Can't make the 1/4 final, but hope it's away to Bordeaux. Think we have a better chance against them.
I agree we have a better chance against Bordeaux. But can imagine the Quins Finance Manager crossing everything for another home fixture.

It's not the Glasgow bias that was the problem, really. You expect and accept that from players and ex players, it's par for the course. It's the constant needle and the vibe that he's the guy who thinks he has the funniest banter on the planet while coming across as the bloke that makes women instinctively cover their drinks when he enters the room.
He was notorious as a player for a reason and it's not hard to see why when this is what he's like when he isn't playing.
Wilson is also English, so the pro-scottish, anti-english "banter" is particularly lame. Thoroughly unpleasant guy by all accounts
